It seems like the hype for #Lemmy is over. The few communities I followed are either abandoned or fed solely by bots.
What a shame. Going back to #Reddit is not an option either though.
@derthomas Ye a lot of this relies on having at least one passionate user to push kickstart thing and keep it alive long enough. The piracy community for example is thriving compared to reddit.
@derthomas In my experience, all it takes is one dedicated poster to get things going. You can try to crosspost stuff from reddit when appropriate, which will attract more people. No easy solutions except doing something about it.
